Fees/Enrolment
Family discounts may be available where more than one child attends full time from one family. WINZ subsidies may be available to qualifying families. In addition to the parent fees, the Ministry of Education provides funding to the Centre and we also participate in the ‘free childcare for three and four olds’ scheme.
Fees reflect the low child to teacher ratios we maintain, the quality, training and professionalism of our teaching staff and the services and unique facilities we provide. A summary of our current fee schedule is as follows:
